Circe's Chords

Inspired by the Greek mythical character Circe, this show invites you to reflect on the powerful feminine creative energy that is present within any flamenco dance composition. Sorcerers' goddess at times, earthly humans who love and hate intensely at others. 

I personally see Circe as a great representation of humans: amazing beings with God-like powers for good and evil, alongside an extremely delicate emotional existence. I believe this plurality within human nature is the key to understanding our identity.

A tablao weaves vivid stories through various elements, bringing forward a strong energy which ignites vibrant conversations and openly shows the intriguing darker and brighter sides of human nature in all its extremities. 

Just like Circe; through tenderness, strength, fear, happiness and maliciousness, I invite you to have a look at our stories’ tapestry.
